Pretoria - Since the start of the Knysna fires, help in all forms, shapes and sizes has flooded in, from people donating clothes, blankets, bottled water, time and skills, as well as monetary donations.

Residents from Knysna, surrounding areas and from around the country have since rallied together and have started helping those affected in several ways.
